Hi All.
Just got into this home brewing caper. I purchased a coopers microbrew kit and have used the coopers lager that was supplied with it. I followed all the instructions very closely and everything seemed to be going well. What I am worried about is that my brew started foaming out of the air lock after the first day or 2 and since then has died off. I have taken hydrometer readings over the past two days and they seem to be stable now at 1008. It went in the fermenter on Saturday afternoon and it is now Wednesday evening so that is only 4 days. I has also slowed to a bubble out the air lock every 4 to 5 minutes. Should I bottle now or let it go a few more days? The sample I take in the hydrometer is still very cloudy aswell. Does this mean anything?
Any thoughts appeciated!
Cheers.
